Play Test Pics and Merry Christmas!

Got in my last play test on Christmas Eve afternoon, so despite starting what seems like forever ago, it came down to the last moment!

The game covers two 24" x 24" tables. The first is all woods, but the second is a bit more varied and features a cave at the villainous end (as it's referred to in the rules).

The rock is not real. It's aluminum foil with thin layer of clay.

The orange glow is courtesy of an LED tea light candle. The cave is a tissue box glued behind layered cardboard and foam core. It's filled with cotton batting to diffuse the light.

Below is the Big Bad, a wendigo. 


If you were expecting a deer skull and antlers, that's not the traditional Algonquin myth, but the popular fiction version that took shape over the 20th century.

Something like this perhaps? I d decided to make this just because. It's a little too tall and was described by a friend as a "glorious demonic angel", which I think suits it. It's a wire armature, clay and tissue soaked in 50/50 water and Mod Podge.

I'll pain this like the other monsters, but with the bone stuff as uh bones. But not until after Christmas sometime.

Speaking of, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Santa brings you whatever is on your list (if you celebrate or a nice day-off if not, and if you're working, well, i hope it's a quiet day at the very least)

  2. This looks very atmospheric! Is that a snow-cloth you use for a battle mat?
    Merry Christmas!

  3. Everything looks great John! The cave with light effect is awesome, it reminds me of the Bumble's Cave in Rudolph! Have a glorious day and a very Merry Christmas!
